This study examines how participants in Korean media talk, specifically talk show interviews, interactively construct puns as and through joint actions. Going beyond puns as humorous wordplay, the study illustrates their interactional and pragmatic functions. A close examination of the sequential positions and interactional contexts of puns in 16 different interviews shows that they recurrently emerge when participants are placed, socially or interactionally, in delicate or difficult situations. Through puns, the participants not only recontextualise the local meaning of a particular target word, but also globally transform the focus and frame of the troublesome ongoing interaction, as well as managing their identities and roles in the interaction. The analysis shows that the participants creatively design puns based on Korean words as well as utilising English words, formulating multilingual puns. The study also demonstrates that puns are often accompanied, triggered or entirely performed by nonlinguistic devices (e.g. body movements, gestures, facial expressions).These multimodal resources play a key role in formulating creative puns, in understanding and responding to puns, and in diverting the trajectory of ongoing interaction.
这项研究考察了韩国媒体谈话,特别是脱口秀采访的参与者如何通过共同行动互动地构建双关语。该研究超越了双关语作为幽默文字游戏的范畴,阐明了双关语的互动和语用功能。在16次不同的采访中,对双关语的顺序位置和互动背景进行了仔细的研究,结果表明,当参与者在社交或互动中处于微妙或困难的境地时,双关语会反复出现。通过双关语,参与者不仅重新定义了特定目标词的局部含义,而且在全球范围内改变了正在进行的麻烦互动的焦点和框架,并管理了他们在互动中的身份和角色。分析表明,参与者创造性地根据韩语单词设计双关语,并利用英语单词,形成多语言双关语。该研究还表明,双关语通常由非语言手段(如肢体动作、手势、面部表情)伴随、触发或完全执行。这些多模态资源在形成创造性双关语、理解和回应双关语以及转移正在进行的互动轨迹方面发挥着关键作用。

Korean has diverse expressions denoting “wishes”. Among them, this paper focuses on the periphrastic constructions of [-essumyen/-kilul + desiderative verbs], excluding the construction [-ko siph-]. Using the perspectives of grammaticalisation and pragmatics, the developmental paths of how the elliptical constructions -essumyen and -kilul realise the concept of the “wish” of the speaker in the optative mood are investigated. This paper will clarify the evolution of the optative markers of -essumyen and -kilul using the mechanisms of grammaticalisation and pragmatic strategies including specialisation, subjectification, intersubjectification, politeness, insubordination, and pragmatic inferences. The SFP (sentential final particle) optatives -essumyen and -kilul take stance-related functions, undergoing insubordination and inviting pragmatic inferences. A corpus analysis will provide usage-based implications of the constructions.
朝鲜语表达“愿望”的方式多种多样。其中,本文重点讨论了[-essumyen/-kil+desidedverbs]的周边结构,不包括[-ko-siph-]结构。从语法化和语用学的角度,探讨了省略结构-essumyen和-kilul在选择语气中实现说话人“愿望”概念的发展路径。本文将利用语法化机制和语用策略,包括专业化、主体化、主体间化、礼貌、不服从和语用推理,阐明-essumyen和-kilul的选择标记的演变。SFP(句子词尾助词)选择词-esumyen和-kilul具有与立场相关的功能,经历不服从和引发语用推理。语料库分析将提供基于使用的结构含义。

The incorporation of materials from the previous speaker in subsequent speaker talk has been variably characterised as repetition (Tannen, 1987), format tying (M. Goodwin, 1990), resonance (Du Bois, 2014) and so forth (henceforth “resonance”). Resonance has been shown to be a pervasive feature of everyday talk-in-interaction. This paper, with data from Mandarin Chinese and American English, shows first that resonance can manifest in multiple modalities, namely morphosyntax, prosody and embodied actions, often simultaneously. Second, it will be shown that the next speaker often does this in the service of creating an amusing effect, or conversational humour. It is proposed that multimodal resonance with amusing effects is an uplifting device in conversation that has a unique impact on the way interaction is managed. As such, investigating such a practice can further our understanding of resonance as a pervasive interactional phenomenon and how multimodality is deployed for coherent courses of action.
在随后的演讲者演讲中,前一位演讲者的材料被不同地描述为重复(Tannen,1987)、格式绑定(M.Goodwin,1990)、共振(Du Bois,2014)等等(以下简称“共振”)。共振已经被证明是日常互动中的一个普遍特征。本文利用中国普通话和美国英语的数据,首次表明共振可以同时表现为多种形式,即形态句法、韵律和具体动作。其次,这将表明下一个演讲者经常这样做是为了创造一种有趣的效果,或会话幽默。有人提出,具有有趣效果的多模态共振是对话中一种令人振奋的手段,对互动的管理方式有着独特的影响。因此,研究这种做法可以进一步理解共振是一种普遍的互动现象,以及如何将多模态用于连贯的行动过程。

The purpose of the current study is two-fold. First, this paper aims to uncover the three-year acquisition process of three interactional particles, ne, yo, and yone by three Chinese-speaking learners of Japanese in a corpus. Among the three particles, yone appeared the latest after one year of study abroad, and the learners progressed in their usage by trying to share epistemic stance and assessments by using yone. However, understanding the epistemic stance for the speaker’s world is challenging. Second, this paper supports the integration of usage-based approaches and sociocultural theory. For teaching interactional particles effectively in the classroom, understanding of the role of intersubjectivity in discourse is crucial. This paper proposes three sets of schematic visual representations for core meanings of ne, yo, and yone, which is essential for concept-based language instruction.
本研究的目的有两个。首先,本文旨在揭示三名汉语日语学习者在一个语料库中对ne、yo和yone三个互动助词的三年习得过程。在这三个助词中,yone是留学一年后出现的最新助词,学习者通过使用yone来分享认识立场和评估,从而在使用上取得了进步。然而,理解说话者世界的认识立场是具有挑战性的。其次,本文支持将基于使用的方法与社会文化理论相结合。为了在课堂上有效地教授互动粒子,理解主体间性在话语中的作用至关重要。本文针对ne、yo和yone的核心含义提出了三组示意视觉表示,这对基于概念的语言教学至关重要。

Pragmatic competence is one of the chief components of language learners’ communicative abilities. However, in research and instruction, limited attention is often directed towards the pragmatic aspects of language. One such pragmatic aspect is conversational implicature. This study investigates the perception of implicatures by EFL undergraduates in Saudi Arabia, where, as in East Asian countries, English is spoken as a foreign language. It employs an exploratory mixed-methods design to collect and analyse the data. Three instruments were used to collect the data, namely, a multiple-choice discourse completion test, the design based on Bouton’s works (1988, 1994), a questionnaire, developed from and based on the taxonomy of the implicature of interpretative strategies by Vandergrift (1997), and interviews. A total of 40 undergraduates who enrolled on a four-year English programme at Majmaah University were randomly selected to participate in this study. The findings revealed that EFL learners encountered difficulties in understanding implicatures. It was also shown that Quantity, Indirect Criticism, Quality, Sequential, and Scalar implicatures are more problematic for learners than the other five types of implicatures, namely, Minimum Requirement Rule, Manner, POPE-Q, Idiomatic, and Relation, respectively. Moreover, the findings obtained from the questionnaire indicated that the participants tended to use inference strategies, deduction/induction, repetition, and transfer strategies more frequently than grouping strategies, elaboration strategies, translation strategies, and summarisation strategies. The study recommends that language teachers should incorporate the pragmatic aspects of language in their teaching, and such aspects should also be incorporated in the English curricula. It provides significant implications which could be useful for EFL/ESL learners and teachers as well as curriculum designers in Saudi Arabia, as much as in East Asia.
语用能力是语言学习者交际能力的主要组成部分之一。然而,在研究和教学中,对语言的语用方面的关注往往有限。其中一个实用的方面是会话含义。本研究调查了沙特阿拉伯的英语本科生对含义的感知,在沙特阿拉伯,和东亚国家一样,英语是作为一门外语来使用的。它采用探索性混合方法设计来收集和分析数据。我们使用了三种工具来收集数据,即多选题语篇完成测试、基于Bouton的作品(1988,1994)的设计、基于Vandergrift(1997)的解释策略含义分类而开发的问卷和访谈。共有40名在Majmaah大学注册四年英语课程的本科生被随机选择参加这项研究。研究结果表明,英语学习者在理解隐含意义方面存在困难。研究还表明,数量隐含隐含、间接批评隐含隐含、质量隐含隐含、顺序隐含隐含和标量隐含隐含比其他五种隐含隐含(分别是最低要求规则隐含隐含、方式隐含隐含、方式隐含隐含、习惯隐含隐含和关系隐含隐含)更容易让学习者产生问题。此外,问卷调查结果表明,参与者更倾向于使用推理策略、演绎/归纳策略、重复策略和迁移策略,而不是分组策略、阐述策略、翻译策略和总结策略。该研究建议,语言教师应将语言的语用方面纳入其教学,这些方面也应纳入英语课程。它提供了重要的启示,可能对沙特阿拉伯和东亚的EFL/ESL学习者和教师以及课程设计师有用。

Whereas there are a number of studies that address subject omission in Korean as a pro-drop language, expressed subjects have been less explored. I argue that the reasons for expressed subjects to remain un-omitted are found in their pragmatic effects rather than elsewhere. This study particularly investigates the pragmatic effects of the alternation among reference forms for the expressed subject in spoken Korean and uses three different spoken corpora to identify specific examples of the relevant effects. I believe that this study makes a significant contribution to the literature because it shows that shifts among different reference forms play a crucial role in conveying specific pragmatic effects. In particular, I have categorised the pragmatic effects of expressed subjects into two categories, (im)politeness and authority, and intimacy and estrangement, by the characteristics of interpersonal behaviours.
尽管有许多研究将韩语中的主语省略作为一种支持脱落的语言,但对表达主语的探索较少。我认为,表达的主题不被省略的原因在于它们的语用效果,而不是其他方面。本研究特别研究了朝鲜语口语中被表达主体指称形式交替的语用效果,并使用三个不同的口语语料库来确定相关效果的具体例子。我相信这项研究对文献做出了重大贡献,因为它表明不同指称形式之间的转换在传达特定的语用效果方面起着至关重要的作用。特别是,我根据人际行为的特点,将表达主体的语用效果分为两类,即礼貌和权威,亲密和疏远。

Self-praise by Chinese and American celebrities on TV talk shows 中美名人在电视脱口秀节目中的自我赞扬

Self-praise, a social practice that threatens the positive face of the addressee, is a relatively under-explored topic in politeness research. This article examines self-praise strategies used by Chinese and American celebrities. Based on an existing taxonomy of self-praise strategies, namely, explicit self-praise without modification, explicit self-praise with modification, and implicit self-praise, we collected data from two Chinese TV shows (Yang Lan Interview One on One and Jin Xing Show) and two American TV shows (The Ellen DeGeneres Show and The Charlie Rose Show). Through a detailed analysis of interactions between host and celebrity within Leech’s (2014) General Strategy of Politeness, it is found that there are four modification devices and three implicit frames in their self-praise. Additionally, American celebrities tend to praise themselves explicitly while Chinese counterparts always mitigate it. Cultural differences exhibited in the form of face-preserving needs and attitudes to the audience may account for preferences for different self-praise strategies in the two linguistic communities. The findings not only open a cross-cultural window to self-praise research but also offer insights into third-person politeness theorising.
自我表扬是一种威胁到对方正面形象的社会行为,是礼貌研究中相对较少探索的课题。本文考察了中美名人的自我表扬策略。通过对Leech(2014)《礼貌总体策略》中主持人与名人互动的详细分析,发现主持人与名人的自我表扬存在四种修饰手段和三种内隐框架。此外,美国名人倾向于明确地表扬自己,而中国名人则总是轻描淡写。文化差异表现为对观众的面子需求和态度,这可能解释了两个语言群体对不同自我赞扬策略的偏好。这些发现不仅为自我表扬研究打开了一扇跨文化的窗口,也为第三人称礼貌理论提供了见解。

Performative intersubjectivity 表演性主体间性

Taking an interactional linguistic approach, this article examines the role of turn-initial wo gaosu ni ‘I tell you’ in informings in Mandarin conversation. Based on data from a television talk show, I argue that one major function of turn-initial wo gaosu ni is to serve as a ‘performative’ strategy in interaction that manages inter-subjectivity among interlocutors (Edwards, 1999, p. 140). Specifically, by treating oneself as the source of information and others as the uninformed, the wo gaosu ni-speaker asserts his/her epistemic primacy over the referent vis-à-vis coparticipants. I also propose that, drawing on this epistemic-encoding function, turn-initial wo gaosu ni can also act to reinforce the speaker’s affective stance, which may be supportive, affiliative, or antithetical to the ones taken by others.
本文采用互动语言学的方法,考察了汉语会话中转折词wo gaosu ni“I tell you”在信息中的作用。基于一个电视脱口秀节目的数据,我认为转折词wo gaosu ni的一个主要功能是在互动中充当一种“表演”策略,管理对话者之间的主体间性(Edwards,1999140)。具体而言,通过将自己视为信息的来源,将他人视为不知情的人,两个高苏尼说话者断言他/她的认知优先于相对于共同参与者的参照物。我还建议,利用这种认知编码功能,转声母wo gaosu ni也可以起到强化说话人情感立场的作用,这种立场可能是支持性的、附属的,也可能与其他人的立场相反。

Specifically, by treating oneself as the source of information and others as the uninformed, the wo gaosu ni-speaker asserts his/her epistemic primacy over the referent vis-à-vis coparticipants. I also propose that, drawing on this epistemic-encoding function, turn-initial wo gaosu ni can also act to reinforce the speaker’s affective stance, which may be supportive, affiliative, or antithetical to the ones taken by others.","PeriodicalId":37018,"journal":{"name":"East Asian Pragmatics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48477677","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study attempts to examine how, in X-change, a Chinese televised documentary programme, fathers and sons practise their relational rituals, display their emotions and (de)construct their relational identities. Based on data analysis and the Confucian ritual theory five Luns, it finds that in family talk, ritual practices change, switching from negative or deviant ones to positive and normative ones, and the affectivity involved also changes from negative emotion to positive emotion. At the beginning of the programme, due to violation of one of the Confucian Luns – loving father and filial son (fucizixiao) – the father and the son conduct the destructive relational ritual practices, deconstruct their relational identities, and release their negative affect. As the programme progresses, both the father and the son commence to conform to Lun, and hence constructive relational ritual practices occur, and relational identities are reconstructed and normalised in terms of Lun; eventually their affect becomes positive, and their interpersonal rapport is enhanced.
本研究试图考察在中国电视纪录片《X变》中,父子如何实践他们的关系仪式,展示他们的情感,并(去)构建他们的关系身份。基于数据分析和儒家礼教理论“五伦”,发现在家庭谈话中,礼教行为发生了变化,从消极或偏离的礼教行为转变为积极和规范的礼教,所涉及的情感也从消极情绪转变为积极情绪。节目开始时,父子二人违反了儒家的“爱父孝子”之道,进行了破坏性的关系仪式实践,解构了他们的关系身份,释放了他们的负面影响。随着节目的进行,父子二人都开始遵从《论》,因此产生了建设性的关系仪式实践,关系身份在《论》中得到重建和规范;最终,他们的情感会变得积极,人际关系也会得到加强。
